Let the expression inside the parenthesis be $$x$$. Then $$x = \sqrt{8 - \sqrt{15}} + \sqrt{8 + \sqrt{15}}$$.
Squaring $$x$$, we get $$x^2 = (8 - \sqrt{15}) + (8 + \sqrt{15}) + 2\sqrt{(8 - \sqrt{15})(8 + \sqrt{15})}$$.
$$x^2 = 16 + 2\sqrt{64 - 15} = 16 + 2\sqrt{49} = 16 + 2(7) = 16 + 14 = 30$$.
Therefore, the answer is 30.
